Athermal heterogeneous nucleation of solidification

For heterogeneous nucleation of solidification, the conditions for initiation of solid grains on nucleant areas of defined size are analysed. Calculations of the work of formation show that the solid formed on a nucleant area has both metastable- and unstable-equilibrium configurations, which permit...
